Hello!
I hope you've had a nice weekend and that you enjoyed the warm weather. Happy Easter to all of you who celebrated it yesterday.

Today I'm going to share with you a recipe for very tasty Gingersnap cookies. Those are not Gingerbreads made in December, but something similar to ''tea cookies'', crispy, but they melt if you dip them into tea, or milk... :)

Sastojci:
100g margarina ili putera
1 jaje
1 solja (za belu kafu) secera (od toga jedna polovina ide u smesu, a druga za valjanje loptica)
4  supene kasike meda ( ili nekog domaceg sirupa, sto gusci, to bolje)
1 supena kasika djumbira (zacina)
 1 kesica vanilin secera
1 kafena kasicica cimeta
1 1/2 kafena kasicica sode bikarbone
2 solje brasna
prstohvat soli
oko 100g secera u prahu (ne ide u smesu)

Ingredients:
100g of margarine or butter
1 egg
1 cup sugar (one half of it goes into the dough, the other half is for rolling in the balls)
4 tablespoons of honey, or molasses
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 pack of vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
2 cups of flour
a pinch of salt
about a 100g powdered sugar ( not for the dough)

Umutite secer i margarin ( puter), dodajte jedno jaje, med ( ili sirup) i umutite da se masa sjedini. Dodajte vanilin secer, djumbir, cimet, so, na kraju sodu bikarbonu i brasno. Sad mozete zamesiti teso rukom. Testo je prilicno lepljivo i mekano, stavite ga u samolepljivu foliju ili kesu za zamrzivac i  u frizider, na minimum 40-ak minuta, a mozete ga ostaviti i duze, cak i preko noci. Ja sam ga drazala oko sat vremena.

Mix sugar and margarine (butter), add one egg, honey (or molasses) and mix until combined well. Then add vanilla sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt and at the end baking soda and flour. Now you can kneed the dough by hand. The dough is pretty sticky and soft, put it into a plastic freezer bag or  clear foil and refrigerate for at least 40 mins and you can leave it longer, even over night. I kept it in the fridge for about an hour.

Kad izvadite testo iz frizidera, od njega pravite loptice, precnika oko 2,5cm. Testo ce biti stegnuto i mnogo lakse za oblikovanje loptica. Svaku lopticu uvaljajte u secer (kristal secer) i redjajte u pleh oblozen papirom za pecenje.  Obavezno ostavite prostora izmedju loptica.

When you take the dough out of the fridge, you use it to make small balls, about 2,5cm diameter. The dough will be stiff and much easier to work with and make balls. Each ball should be rolled into sugar and then placed into the pan with baking paper. Make sure to leave some space inbetween the balls.

Sledeci korak je da nadjete solju ili casu sa potpuno ravnim dnom, ''umocite'' dno u prah secer i pritisnete/spljostite svaku lopticu. Umocite dno case u secer u prahu za svaku lopticu, u protivnom ce vam se loptice lepiti za dno case.

Next step is to find a cup or a glass with completely flat bottom and then ''dip'' the bottom into powdered sugar and press it onto each of the balls. Dip the glass bottom into powdered sugar for every ball, otherwise the balls will stick onto the bottom of a glass.

Pecite u zagrejanoj rerni, na 200C oko 15 min, dok kolutici ne dobiju braonkastu boju.

Bake on 200C in preheated oven for about 15 mins, or until brownish.

Kolutici su jako ukusni, od ove smese dobije se od 25-30. Uvek mozete duplirati meru.

The snaps are really tasty and this dough makes about 25-30 balls. You can always double the recipe.

Bon Appétit ! :)
